I think the logical question here is to either find the distance or the displacement. They differ in such a way that distance is a scalar quantity that does not focus on the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that covers the distance from the starting point to end point. Because it travels only in one direction (to the east), in this condition, distance is equal to displacement.
Distance = Displacement = 3,000 m + 1,500 m = 4,500 m
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
Given that your boat departs from the bank of a river that has a swift current parallel to its banks. If you want to cross this river in the shortest amount of time, you should direct your boat: so that it drifts with the current.
If the boat moves perpendicular to the current, the current flow will be the resistance to the movement of the boat. So, it's better for the boat to drifts perpendicularly with the current.
The best answer is therefore option D.
The magnitude of electric field is produced by the electrons at a certain distance.
E = kQ/r²
where:
E = electric field produced
Q = charge
r = distance
k = Coulomb Law constant 9 x10^9<span> N. m</span>2<span> / C</span><span>2
Given are the following:
Q = </span><span>1.602 × 10^–19 C
</span><span>r = 38 x 10^-9 m
Substitue the given:
E = </span>
E = 998.476 kN/C
